Write the equation of a line parallel to f(x)=1/2x+1 and passing through the point (-5, -2).

y = 1/2x + 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1/2x + b  [Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts]

-2 = (1/2)(-5) + b  [Plug in the coordinates (-5,-2) to find the y-intercept b]

b = 1/2  [Solve for b]

y = 1/2x + 1/2

y= 1/2x + 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

plug in the x and y values to get the y-intercept the slope stays the same. hope this helps! :P
